From the publisher:

Academy Award-winning Aardman Studios in Bristol, England, one of the most successful and innovative animation studios in the world, shows you how to make your own 3-D animated film. This practical, fully illustrated step-by-step guide is the most complete book available on the subject. Peter Lord, co-founder of Aardman, takes you through the 3-D animation process from model-making and planning sets to the nuts-and-bolts of editing and the addition of sound. Hundreds of animation examples, including some created specially for this book, cover such basic elements as cameras, lighting, and studio set-ups, simple forms of clay animation, special effects, and how to make believable movements and expressions.

Published in Great Britain under the title Cracking Animation: The Aardman Book of 3-D Animation.
